Launching a Global Music Initiative

The entire global civilization is lost deep in the dense darkness of bodily consciousness. Because of this no one is tasting the genuine sublime happiness of their eternal spiritual identity. Everyone is being tossed on the waves of the ocean of birth and death, sometimes thinking themselves happy and sometime feeling very sad. Even the happiness they feel is not the real happiness of the eternal spiritual being. It is instead maya-sukhaya, illusory happiness.

Because of this our mission is to ignite a global spiritual revolution that will awaken everyone to their original divine consciousness. For this purpose we have many programs and strategies for attracting the general populace and educating them about their actual eternal identities. One such program is my initiative to attract and educate the global society through the form of popular music.

Having been a popular singer/songwriter before I came to Krishna consciousness I thought, "Why not introduce the world to Krishna consciousness through songs?" So now I have launched a popular music initiative with the goal of attracting and educating millions and billions of people music lovers all over the world in the amazingly transformational science of Krishna consciousness.

For this purpose I have a website: www.TurnOnTheWorld.com. I encourage all of you, my dedicated disciples, students, and readers to check out the site, download the songs, and share them widely with as many people as possible through one-on-one conversations, via the internet, etc.

Our goal is to make these songs more popular even than the Beatles so that everyone all over the world can be introduced to the astoundingly sublime science of Krishna consciousness as soon as possible.

So check out the site. Download and share the songs. By working together let's ignite a global spiritual revolution that will bring love, peace, and sanity to a rapidly deteriorating global society.

Again, the website is: www.TurnOnTheWorld.com

Thank you for being here.

Answers by Citing the Vedic Version:

Question: Are We Perfect?

I know that Krishna is complete oneness. Are we the individual souls already complete oneness or do we have to become that? When God is perfect, are we then too perfect because god is in us? But if we were perfect than why do we suffer in this world?

thanks,
sincerely yours

Answer: Yes, But...

From: ISKCON Austin, Texas USA

My Dear Jeanine,

Please accept my blessings.
All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

As God is perfect, we the living beings are also perfect because we are qualitatively one with Him. Since the Lord desires to have a perfect loving relationship with each one of us, He gives us the free will to either love Him or leave Him. Try to understand that since love cannot be forced we, the living beings, have been given this choice. Since the choice exists there exists also the possibility of misusing that choice. And if it is misused, we find ourselves here in this material world trying to enjoy separately from God. The misery we experience here by being separated from God is all part of God’s perfect arrangement to bring us back to our perfect position of voluntarily rendering loving service unto Him.

I hope this meets you in the best of health and in an ecstatic mood.

Your ever well-wisher,
Sankarshan Das Adhikari

The Little Sparrow Who Conquered the Ocean

Image
In his purport to Bhagavad-gita, Chapter 6, Text 24 Srila Prabhupada wonderfully teaches us the power of determinations by telling us the story of the little sparrow who conquered the ocean: "As for determination, one should follow the example of the sparrow who lost her eggs in the waves of the ocean. A sparrow laid her eggs on the shore of the ocean, but the big ocean carried away the eggs on its waves. The sparrow became very upset and asked the ocean to return her eggs. The ocean did not even consider her appeal. So the sparrow decided to dry up the ocean. She began to pick out the water in her small beak, and everyone laughed at her for her impossible determination. The news of her activity spread, and at last Garuda, the gigantic bird carrier of Lord Visnu, heard it. He became compassionate toward his small sister bird, and so he came to see the sparrow. Garuda was very pleased by the determination of the small sparrow, and he promised to help. Thus Garuda at once asked t

Heart Melting Reunion with Amarendra and Gayatri

Image
On Friday 26 June 2015 I was blessed with the greatest good fortune of meeting with two of the dearest devotees of my entire life, His Grace Amarendra Prabhu and his good wife, Srimati Gayatri devi dasi. I am eternally indebted to these great souls for how much they helped me in my spiritual life when I was a young devotee. When I was young brahmacari monk in 1973 I joined with the two of them in Gainesville, Florida. We were a three person preaching center, and they were just like a mother and father to me. I had so many wonderful Krishna conscious experiences in their association that I can hardly begin to describe them here. But at least may it suffice for me to say for now that Gayatri taught me what it means to be a soft-hearted devotee of the Lord and she gave me my first cooking lesson, teaching me how to make cauliflower pakoras, and Amarendra taught me the art of how to preach strongly, intelligently, and coolly to defeat opposing arguments. Recently Gayatri almost died. But

Misguided Fools Say that Masturbation is Healthy

Foolish modern day materialists recommend masturbation as follows: "Masturbation is a common activity. It’s a natural and safe way to explore your body, feel pleasure, and release built-up sexual tension. It occurs among people of all backgrounds, genders, and races. Despite the myths, there are actually no physically harmful side effects of masturbation." They are wrong. To get a proper understanding on this this topic read the question and answer section below. Answers According to the Vedic Wisdom Question: What are the Ill Effects of Masturbation?
